Too much Roundabout and not enough South Side of the Sky.

Perhaps if you told us more about what she likes, we could develop a more informed opinion...?

Lose two of the Rush songs and add some Camel. I think girls would like
Camel. The Velvet Underground and St. Elmo's Fire are nice choices.

May I be blunt; are you simply trying to show her the best of prog, or are you hoping your choice of music will impress her such that..ahem..physical union may be the result?

One thing I have learned is that chicks dig Can, not so much Rush. I'd also try Van Der Graaf Generator's Still Life, Peter Hammil's singing is also appealing to girls, who like singers who are "deep" and show sensitivity like Smashing Pumpkins etc. Whatever you do not and I repeat do not play her Magma or Dun, great bands but I guarantee 90% of girls don't like them.
P.S. I'd change Yes's Roundabout to Wonderous Stories simpler and more accssessible introduction.

I'd get rid of Roundabout and replace it with I've Seen All Good People. Limelight is good, but i'd also get rid of it and throw it Genesis - I Know What I Like, or Jethro Tull - Teacher.

I do like Velvet Underground but they're not prog and it doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the mix.
When I do compilation CD's I usually have an artist appear only once,
seems to give a comp CD more flow and diversity. There's lots out there
to choose from and I agree with another post that Camel would be a good
inclusion.
